Step up for Fiesta
decoration
Ford had used Fiesta as base for Super 2000 car already in 2010 season and as new World Rally Car regulations were largely S2000 based, it was logical for them to adopt Fiesta as Ford's new WRCar.

It's not entirely correct to say that Fiesta was smaller than it's predecessor Focus, as this applies to length but not to width. Just under four meters long, which is 30 cm less than Focus, Fiesta is 20 mm wider. This results an interesting unreal appearance, especially when viewed low from rear and to side where extremely wide front wings are most apparent.

Engine-wise the regulations called for 1.6 liters of maximum capacity, which does not reflect at all in reported nominal power output. Maximum torque has dropped to 450 Nm from earlier 550 Nm of Focus' two-liter engine. The drop is remarkably less than that of Citroen's 350 Nm, but Citroen's unit produces that at 3250 rpm whereas Ford reaches it's peak at 4000 rpm.
